An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.

Verse 28 is found in chapter 19 of Proverbs. The fear of the Lord leads to life and satisfaction, while laziness prevents a person from taking advantage even of an opportunity for sustenance. A son who mistreats his parents receives a severe warning, and the false witness appears again as an agent of destruction. Discipline occupies an important place: correction seeks to stop folly before it becomes an entrenched pattern of conduct.

Ein loser Zeuge spottet des Rechts, und der Gottlosen Mund verschlingt das Unrecht.
El testigo perverso se burlará del juicio; Y la boca de los impíos encubrirá la iniquidad.
Un témoin pervers se moque de la justice, Et la bouche des méchants dévore l'iniquité.
Il testimonio scellerato schernisce la dirittura; E la bocca degli empi trangugia l’iniquità
O ímpio escarnece do juízo, e a boca dos perversos devora a iniqüidade.
卑劣的見證嘲笑公平, 惡人的口吞下罪孽。
